Most video players support changing the playback speed. In mplayer it's controlled with the '[' and ']' keys and in VLC it's set in the Playback -> Speed menu.

HTML5 video elements also usually have a playback speed property that can be changed in the JS console, so any site that streams fast enough can be sped up.
The mplayer keys work in VLC too, BTW.
